Attendance: Dedra, Halie, Alex (AB: Amanda, Julian - notes left w/Mr. T for next week prep

What we did

• Review proper posture and hand position
• Review reading and performing line 1, 2 and 4 in the Standard of Excellence
  • Concert D, C, Bb
• Perform Benchmark line
  • Play line 7 with acceptable tone quality, correct rhythm and in good time. (Learning Targets Met)
• Played line 8 to establish 8 counts of constant sound
  • Used a "too" or "doo" tonguing to separate into two 4-count notes (whole notes)
• Applied this concept as half note rhythms.
• Played through line 11

---

What to do:

• Work to achieve performance targets on line 11
  • Great tone
  • Establish good time
  • Play correct notes
  • Play the rhythm written
  • Establish an acceptable "legato" tonguing style

---

Looking Forward

• Counting and playing half notes and half rests on page 7: lines 11-14
  • Benchmark lines are 12 and 14
• Counting and playing quarter notes and rest on page 8: 15-17

Must establish a good legato articulation; no breath between notes; all articulation is whole note based


All students should be able to meet performing targets on line 7 by Nov. 10
